Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 243,430 filed Mar. 13, 1981. now U.S. Pat. No. 4,333,927.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a skin preparation and more particularly to a skin preparation exerting an improved therapeutic activity of a topical corticosteroid present therein.
Topical corticosteroid-containing skin preparations have heretofore been used widely. However, it is still desired to improve the efficacy of these skin preparations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to provide a topical corticosteroid-containing skin preparation having an enhanced therapeutic activity.
Other objects will be apparent from the following description.
We have now found that these objects can be attained by incorporating a phosphatide and butylhydroxyanisole and/or butylhydroxytoluene in the skin preparation and accomplished this invention.
In brief, this invention resides in a skin preparation which contains (i) a phosphatide, (ii) a topical corticosteroid and (iii) butylhydroxyanisole and/or butylhydroxytoluene.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The phosphatides which can be used in the skin preparations of this invention include phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), phosphatidylethanolamine (cephlin), phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid and the like. Of course, a mixture of two or more of these phosphatides may be used. In such cases, it was found that the phosphatidylcholine content of the phosphatide mixture is most preferably between 10% and 40%. This is presumed to have relation to the fact that such phosphatidylcholine content is close to the phosphatide composition of the epidermis. It is generally advantageous to use as the phosphatide mixture a commercially available soy phosphatide (soy lecithin) or egg phosphatide (egg lecithin). Soy phosphatide is particularly preferred. These commercially available phosphatides contain various phosphatides and in addition some substances other than phosphatides. The amount of such commercially available phosphatide to be used should be calculated based on the total phosphatide content thereof. The amount of phosphatides or phosphatide mixture used in the skin preparation of this invention depends on the diseases to which the skin preparation is applied, formulation, type and amount of the topical corticosteroid and the like, and is usually in the range of 0.1% to 30%, preferably 0.1% to 10%, more preferably 0.2% to 7% and most preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the preparation.
If the amount of phosphatide used is too low, the desired results of this invention will be attained insufficiently. The use of more phosphatide than required will not improve the desired results in a manner proportional to the amount of phosphatide, and bring about undesirable effects such as stickiness of the skin. For this reason, the above-mentioned range is preferred.
Examples of the topical corticosteroid for use in the skin preparations of this invention include hydrocortisone acetate, hydrocortisone butyrate, prednisolone acetate, methylprednisolone acetate, dexamethasone acetate, dexamethasone sodiumphosphate, dexamethasone valerate, flumethasone pivalate, beclomethasone dipropionate, betamethasone valerate, betamethasone dipropionate, betamethasone sodiumphosphate, betamethasone benzoate, fluocinolone acetonide, clobetasone, butyrate, clobetasol propionate, diflucortolone valerate, diflucortolone pivalate, flucortin butyl, fluocortolone, clocortolone pivalate, halcinonide, amcinonide, diflorasone diacetate, desoxymethasone, difluprednate, desonide, budesonide, prednisone, paramethasone, fludroxycortide and flunisolide. Of course, a combination of two or more of these topical corticosteroids may be used.
The amount of the topical corticosteroid to be added should be determined on the basis of the strength of activity and the intended use of the particular corticosteroid. When a larger amount of the topical corticosteroid is added, it is preferred to increase the amount of the phosphatide added. In preparing the skin preparation of this invention, the topical corticosteroid can be added as a solution dissolved in an oil phase component, or propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, ethanol or the like. Alternatively, solid powder of the corticosteroid may be added and dispersed as such or after it is finely pulverized.
The skin preparation of this invention contains butylhydroxyanisole and/or butylhydroxytoluene along with the aforementioned phosphatide and topical corticosteroid.
The incorporation of butylhydroxyanisole and/or butylhydroxytoluene prevents very satisfactorily the phosphatide from coloring and keeps the skin preparation very stable for a prolonged period of time. Particularly, a combined use of both these compounds provides satisfactory results.
In the preparation of an ointment, predissolution of the topical corticosteroid in propylene glycol is preferred in view of solubility and mild irritation to the skin, but this suffers from instability with elapse of time. In such cases, a highly stable ointment can be obtained by dissolving the corticosteroid in propylene glycol in which butylhydroxyanisole has been dissolved, because butylhydroxyanisole in soluble in propylene glycol.
In addition to the above-mentioned three components, other components may be incorporated in the skin preparation of this invention depending on the intended use thereof. Thus, it is possible to prepare skin preparations having a wide variety of rheological properties in a conventional manner. The formulations of these skin preparations include aqueous mixtures such as a solution, colloidal solution, emulsified lotion, O/W cream (hydrophilic cream) and aqueous gel wherein the aqueous phase is the continuous one; oily mixtures such as a solution, ointment, W/O cream, gel base [e.g. Plastibase® (a mineral oil gelled with polyethylene, i.e., a gel of polyethylene and liquid paraffin)], absorption ointment in which an emulsifier is added to the oil and hydrophilic ointment wherein the oil phase is the continuous one; and non-aqueous, water-soluble bases such as a mixture of polyethylene glycol. A suspension base such as a shaking lotion in which a solid dispersing agent is added can also be prepared.
Oily components, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, gelatinizers and solid materials which can be used to prepare such formulations are well known as those used in the preparation of cosmetics and topical products.
The oily components include hydrocarbons such as liquid paraffin, vaseline, solid paraffin, microcrystalline wax, etc.; higher aliphatic alcohols such as cetyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, etc.; esters of higher fatty acids with higher alcohols such as beeswax, spermaceti, etc.; esters or higher fatty acids with lower alcohols such as isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, etc.; vegetable oils, modified vegetable oils, hydrous lanolin and its derivative, squalene, squalane; higher fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, etc. and the like.
Emulsifiers and dispersing agents which can be used include anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants. Nonionic surfactants are preferred because of their low levels of irritation to skin. Typical of nonionic surfactants are fatty acid monoglycerides such as glyceryl monostearate, etc.; sorbitan fatty acid esters such as sorbitan monolaurate; etc.; sucrose fatty acid esters; polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters such as polyoxyethylene stearate, etc.; and polyoxyethylene higher alcohol ethers such as polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, etc.
Particularly in the preparation of creams, the use of a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester is advantageous in that the emulsion stability is highly improved. Particularly preferred for this purpose are those polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters wherein the fatty acid contains usually about 8 to 26 carbon atoms, preferably about 12 to 18 carbon atoms and the number of ethylene oxide molecules in the addition polymerized polymer chains (or degree of addition polymerization of ethylene oxide) is usually about 20 to 60, preferably about 40 to 55. An example of such ester is polyoxyethylene monostearate.
Gelatinizers include carboxymethylcellulose, cellulose gel, carbopol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and various gums.
These oily components, emulsifiers, dispersing agents and gelatinizers, of course, can be used alone or in combination with each other.
The incorporation into the skin preparation of this invention of propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol or the like which has a moisturizing action is preferred, because it enhances the moisturizing action of the skin preparation of this invention. Ethanol may be added to advantage, since it has a bacteriostatic action and provides a cooling effect upon application to the skin.
In order to further increase the stability of the skin preparation of this invention it is preferred to add a chelating agent, an antiseptics and the like, as required. The chelating agents which can be used include EDTA (ethylenediamine tetracetate), thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid, thioglycerine and the like. The antiseptics which can be used include methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, o-phenylphenol, dehydroacetic acid and the salts thereof, p-chloro-m-cresol, p-chloro-m-xylenol and the like.
In addition, it is preferred to adjust pH of the skin preparation by adding citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid or the like. The pH value which should be adjusted to is dependent upon the stability of the skin preparation. In general, it is preferred that the skin preparation be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. A fragrance may be added in a slight amount, if desired.
Furthermore, one or more drugs selected from antibiotics, antihistaminics, antimycotic agents and vitamines may be incorporated into the skin preparation of this invention to prepare a compounded preparation.
Since the skin preparations according to this invention exerts a markedly improved activity of the topical corticosteroid present therein, they can be used in the treatment of skin diseases including eczema, ichthyosis, lichen and psoriasis to attain the disappearance or alleviation of the sympton.
In addition, the skin preparations of this invention disperse and retain the active ingredient, corticosteroid, in the skin for a prolonged period of time without loss of the corticosteroid so that they can exert the effect of the steroid effectively.
Furthermore, the skin preparations are stable with little coloration or other change after the elapse of time.
The following examples are given to illustrate this invention, but they are not intended to restrict the invention in any way.

The activities of these ten preparations having the compositions as above were evaluated and compared by their antiinflammatory effects on mice croton oil ear edema.
[Test Procedure]
The test was carried out according to the Toneli method [Endocrinology 77, 625-634 (1965)].
A phlogistic solution consisting of pyridine, ether and croton oil [50:45:5 (v/v)] is applied to the right ear of the mouse and then the skin preparation is applied thereon. Five hours after the treatment, both of the ears are excised at a predetermined position and the wet weight of the ears are dtermined to calculate the edema ratio according to the following equation: ##EQU1## Inhibition ratio is calculated according to the following equation: ##EQU2## Ten male mice weighing 20 to 25 g are used as one group. [Test Results]
As is apparent from Table 2 below, the skin preparations of this invention possess higher antiinflammatory activities as campared with topical corticosteroid preparations prepared with conventional ointment bases.
From these results, it is believed that the increased activities of the skin preparations of this invention result from the formation of a non-covalent complex between the steroid and the phosphatide which leads to an increase in the compatibility and retainability of the steroid in the skin.

The antiinflammatory activities of these five skin preparations were evaluated and compared by rat skin carrageenin edema inhibition test.
[Test Procedure]
The test was carried out according to the Fujimura et al method.
A 1% solution of λ carrageenin dissolved in the Krebs solution is used as a phlogistic solution. On the day before the test, the abdominal hair of the rats is completely removed using a hair clipper and a depilatory cream.
About 0.5 g of the ointment or cream to be tested is applied to the abdominal skin of the rats under no anesthetic. An hour after this treatment, 5.0 μl of the 1% carrageenin solution is injected intradermally at two points of the abdomen under no anesthetic. Immediately after this injection, 0.5 ml of 1% pontamine sky blue solution (in the Krebs solution) is injected through the tail vein, and at the same time 0.5 g of the drug (ointment or cream) is applied to the abdominal skin again. Then, blue areas and edemas on the abdominal skin of the rats are measured every one hour after application of the carrageenin solution. Five hours after the application, the rats are sacrificed by exsanguination and the abdominal skin are excised and reversed to measure the shortest and longest diameters of the blue areas. The edema areas are then punched out with a 17×17 mm skin punch and their wet weights are measured to give indices of the skin edemas.
[Test Results]
It is apparent from Table 4 below that the skin preparations of this invention possess higher carrageenin edema inhibitory activities as compared with the comparative topical corticosteroid preparations prepared with conventional ointment bases.
